440 The Principal Was Arrested (2/2)
”What should we do? Though we know Professor Bacon's interests, it doesn't provide any leads to his whereabouts.”
”Not necessarily.” Sherlock pointed to a table. His finger slid across the table and pressed at a corner.
A Mana Formation appeared, followed by the flashing of Mana rays. A small book appeared on the table.
”Mana Formation for Item Teleportation!”
Professor Cabbage recognized this Mana Formation. Who would have thought that Professor Bacon would place an Item Teleportation Mana Formation on his table?
Sherlock took the small book and examined it. The book had Professor Bacon's handwriting.
”No. 25:
I studied some Ancient Documents. Frangipani may not be dead. He could have been sealed within Specter College's grounds. This is easy to understand. As an Ancient Battleground, Specter College could be the place when Frangipani perished. However, the legend didn't match the information stated in the Ancient Documents.”
”No. 26:
I searched the entirety of Specter College. Just as I expected, Specter College wasn't just used for education. Millions of years ago, the Liches were members of the Ancient Gods army. The Ancient Gods army was defeated, but Specter College may be unwittingly helping the Ancient Gods to revive!”
”No. 27:
I'm sure that there was an intact Rune Mana Formation under Specter College. While Frangipani was being sealed under Specter College, the school was supplying the Mana to remove the seal on Frangipani. I don't know to what degree the seal has been discharged. With the passing of time, I believe the seal of Frangipani will soon be removed.”
”No. 28:
I went to look for the principal of Specter College, but he didn't care about this. I decided to collect pieces of evidence. I suspect that he could have participated in it…”
There were no more entries after this point. Professor Bacon seemed to have left and vanished after writing the last entry.
Everyone looked in shock at the principal.
”Wait, what do you mean by that?”
The principal looked bewildered at Sherlock and Professor Cabbage.
…
Two hours later.
The Merchant Alliance's Central Garrison Guard Beetlemon was parked outside the entrance of Specter College. The Garrison Guards brought the arrested principal out of the college.
”Wait! It's not me! I didn't do it! I don't know about Frangipani!” the principal shouted loudly. He looked innocent.
Sherlock, his pets, Professor Cabbage, and a group of Lich students watched the arrest in silence.
A uniformed Captain walked out with a group of guards that were carrying various documents and chests. Those were the personal items of the principal.
”Thank you, Lord Sherlock. We didn't expect Specter College to be committing such a crime. We'll interrogate the principal and provide a satisfactory conclusion. As for Professor Bacon, we have found several letters that indicate his whereabouts,” the Captain said, handing over the letters to Sherlock.
